Do you have any idea _why_?

What happens if you apply the second coat after the first has dried?

Chemical crosslinking has to happen during a certain curing period or
it doesn't happen.

Makes sense.

But I'm wondering why the same advice doesn't apply to this gallon of
porch and floor latex paint I've been using. They want me to wait a
full 24 hours before applying a second coat. By that time, the stuff
is dry and hard enough to walk on.
